Please note that the track is “prepped” the same every time we open the main gates.

1. Enrollment for the 2019 points series is done in the timing tower or at tech. All Drivers must have a NHRA competition number or a No Problem Raceway permanent number to earn points.

2. Drivers in all classes are advised to purchase a NHRA competition number and membership. If a driver chooses not to purchase a NHRA number, No Problem Raceway will assign you a permanent number.

3. The points are earned according to the number displayed on the vehicle. Should a driver change vehicles during the season, his or her permanent number must be on the vehicle.

4. All numbers and dial-ins are to be displayed on the driver’s side of the vehicle. If a driver does NOT want Cross Talk on, (when applicable), the driver is to write an "N" after the Dial In.

The numbers have to be legible for the tower crew.

5. Points will be given in all eliminators unless there is a special event. Drivers will be notified if points are not given at a special event.

6. Drivers are NOT allowed to Double Enter in same car.

7. Points will be awarded to the driver and may not be transferred, even if the driver changes eliminator. Any DISPUTE about point totals for any race must be made PRIOR to the posting of the next race point totals to web site.

8. The 2019 points season begin with the 1st race in 2019.

9. The point’s leader in each eliminator, at the end of the season will be the 2019 Track Champion. Each Track Champion and Jr. Dragster age group winner will each earn a 2020 No Problem Raceway Gold Card. The Gold Card entitles the racer to a free car/driver and 1 crewmember entry to all No Problem Raceway sponsored events. The Gold Car is non-transferable.

10. BOX and NO-BOX Race of Champions, for the E.T. Finals, will be determined by the total season’s points leader in BOX and NO-BOX as of the week before the E-T Finals event. The total season’s points leader of the 13+ age group will determine the Jr. Dragster Race of Champions. In case of a tie, the winner will be determined by the most event wins during the season, followed by the most 2nd Place finishes, followed by most 3rd Place finishes.

2019 Points will be earned as follows in BOX, NO-BOX, STREET and Jr. Dragsters:

10 Points for Completing 2 Time Trials

10 Points for Each Round Win, Rounds 1 through Finals

If you break after 1st time trial you will not receive any points but get your tech card back to use at another Bracket Race

If you break before you make any time trials you will receive a refund (Please Notify NPR Staff if you are broken ASAP)

11. You will have 3 MINUTES to start your car in the STAGING LANES if a problem arises.

You will have 2 MINUTES to start your car at the READY LINE if a problem arises.

You will have 1 MINUTE to start your car ON TRACK if a problem arises.

CASH BONUS! The FINAL POINTS CHAMPION in both BOX and NO-BOX CLASSES will each receive a $500 BONUS at the year-end Banquet. The FINAL POINTS RUNNER-UP in both BOX and NO-BOX will each receive a $250 BONUS at the year-end Banquet.

1. All eliminators entered will be given a maximum of two (2) time trial sessions or qualifying runs. Late arrivals are only guaranteed one (1) time trial before eliminations begin, if time permits.

2. Time trials will be run by eliminator out of their designated lanes.

3. In time trials and eliminations, cars will be called to their assigned lanes: Street 1&2, No-Box 3&4, and Box to 5&6. In eliminations all cars (winners and buy backs) will be called to their assign lanes. 1st round buy back go directly to round 2 and 2nd round go directly to round 3. Once you have committed to a lane you must stay in that lane. NO LANE SWITCHING! When all the pairs have been run and the remainder of the cars are all in one lane a playing card will be drawn and the higher numbered card stays in that lane and the lower card moves over.

4. In Box, No-Box, and Street classes the potential wait and see bye will be awarded by reaction time from the previous round winners. Before Eliminations start a wait and see bye will be determined by the BEST REACTION TIME from the 2nd Round of Time Trials and will be announced over the PA system when the class is called to the lanes. In each round there after, until the race is laddered, the potential bye will be awarded to the car with the best reaction time of the previous round. (If a Driver who has the Wait and See Bye does not get a bye and has to race, the Wait and See Bye will not carry over into the next round, should the driver Win their race they are eligible for another BYE if they have the best reaction time in future rounds.) The tie breaker, if needed, will be closest to the dial. In each round the potential bye will be announced over the PA when that round is called to the lanes. When the round of 8 or less is reached, the cars will be laddered by Reaction times from the previous round. Cars will be paired best to worst. The Bye will go to the car with the Best Reaction time as long as said car has not received a bye previously. No car will receive more than one bye in eliminations, except in the case of a competition bye. Once cars are laddered, lane choice will go to the driver with the best non-red reaction time from the previous round, in all other rounds lane choice will be determined by drawing of a playing card. All cars are eligible for the potential bye, unless said car had received it earlier.

Once all the cars have been pared and a wait-and-see bye has either been declared a bye or pared up with another car, and the wait-and-see bye driver has exited the STAGING LANES, the field is CLOSED. Any car showing up to the lanes after this point will not be allowed to run as he/she has arrived too late.

5. Courtesy staging is in effect during all points races except for 8-12 Jr. Dragsters. If a car stages before both cars have pre-staged, the car will be backed out of the lights (one time only) and both cars will then re-stage.

6. Each car must take the PRE-STAGE and STAGE beam under FORWARD MOTION.

7. No deep staging is allowed, except for 8-12 Jr. Dragsters.

8. Jr. Dragster crew members will fire the car up AT HEAD OF STAGING and proceed through water box when the two cars ahead of them are staged. A maximum of 2 “push-backs” and 1 engine restart will be allowed prior to staging. Once the dragster has lit the pre-stage bulb, no crew member will be allowed to touch the vehicle, other than to turn on a data switch.

9. A driver may change vehicles before eliminations have begun.

10. No driver may change vehicles once eliminations have begun. However, a driver may enter another car before the second round if he/she purchases an additional entry fee and pays for a first round Buy Back.

11. All dial-ins must be visible after crossing the yellow line in front of the staging lanes and cannot be changed after that. Jr. Dragster drivers may not change their dial-in after the first pair of Jr’s has staged.

12. Reaction times and intermediate times are given as a courtesy to the driver and no races will be re-run over disputed times.

13. RERUNS will ONLY be given if there is a TIMING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. A rerun consists of both drivers utilizing the SAME LANE and DIAL IN as the original race. NO EXCEPTIONS.

14. It is the sole responsibility of the driver to check his or her dial-in before staging. Once both cars have pre-staged, it is a race.

15. RAINOUTS: Rainouts may be rescheduled at the track's discretion.

16. LICENSE RUNS: We have always supported our license applicants by offering drivers unlimited access to the track, and we will continue to do so on every Pro Test and Tune/Test N Tune/Midnight Madness events. However, on race days, we no longer are able to allow License Runs due to time constraints and maintaining a satisfactory flow during our Points Bracket Racing Series.

17. TIME TRIALS ONLY & EXHIBITION RUNS:

Saturday is our RACE DAY. Should a driver want to run time trials only, will cost $40. Should the driver not wish to participate in the race itself, the driver will be able to run the 2 allotted time trials and may begin to run more time trials after the 3rd round of the races or as time allows between rounds. Please understand that this is a point series race and completing the race is our first priority.

18. Cars must have at least one working tail light when the track lights are on. If the race steward deems a light to not be adequate, the car will not be allowed to run -- NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE.

19. If a driver has been awarded a BYE run and is unable to make it to the starting line and cross the beam under his/her own power, then the driver is considered to have NOT advanced to the next round. If cars on a Ladder only the cars/drivers who have advanced will proceed per the ladder per the ladder seeding.
